Chinese development is widely considered to be an example of
successful developmental catch-up with double-digit growth rates
year on year. Some even talk of an emerging power, which may in
time replace the US as the global economy's hegemon. And yet there
is a dark underside to this 'miracle' in the form of workers' long
hours, low pay and lack of welfare benefits. Increasing levels of
inequality have gone hand in hand with super exploitative working
conditions. Nevertheless, Chinese workers have not simply accepted
these conditions of super-exploitation; they have started to fight
back. Set against the background of China's integration into the
global economy along uneven and combined development lines, this
volume explores new forms of resistance by Chinese workers, be it
through the state trade union All-China Federation of Trade Unions
(ACFTU) or through informal labour NGOs. It also analyses the links
between Chinese formal and informal labour organisations, with
labour organisations outside China. This book was originally
published as a special issue of the journal Globalizations.
